Our panel of international journalists take a look at President Trump's first foreign tour, looking at the ups and the downs and analysing what has been achieved. They also discuss this week's attacks in both Manchester and Egypt, and the international reactions that followed. And finally the panel look back at the life of the actor who played James Bond in seven films, Sir Roger Moore, who died on Tuesday at the age of 89.
Eight days before his inauguration, Donald Trump staged his first press conference since July. The president-elect was grilled by on his potential conflicts of interests regarding his business ties, his friendliness towards Vladimir Putin, and his tax returns. Could these criticisms be grounds for impeachment on Day One? And with Trump hitting back hard at reporters and singling out “failing news organisations”, how will the press cover a President who undermines them to such an extent?
And as the world begins to process a Donald Trump victory, protesters descended onto the streets of America chanting slogans and rejecting the billionaire shock win, and accusing him of racism, sexism and xenophobia. Our panel of journalists unpacks the reasons behind this surprise win and speculate on what a Trump Presidency will look like.
So how does President Trump sound? It's a serious question after the celebrity real estate tycoon clobbered the competition in the Indiana Republican primary, forcing his penultimate rival Ted Cruz to drop out of the race. How did he get this far? Who is he really? How far can he go? Looking ahead will Hillary Clinton figure him out any better than his Republican rivals? Strange election cycle or are we witnessing a seismic shift in U.S. politics?
While President Donald Trump busies himself with his apoplectic rejection of Joe Biden as president-elect, world leaders have swiftly moved on. In a sign of Biden's legitimacy, leaders of major democracies have stepped up to congratulate the President-elect Joe Biden in recent days. Doubtless salt to his wound, Trump's favorite network--Fox News--and media outlets across the board have also declared Biden the projected winner of the election. Business Insider reports that as a whole, EU leaders and even Israel and Turkey have congratulated Biden. Only Russia's Vladimir Putin, China's Xi Xing Ping, Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador, and Brazil's Jair Bolsonaro have yet to join in.
A number of London police have stepped back from firearms duties after a fellow officer was charged with murder over the fatal shooting of a young black man, a force spokesman said Sunday. Police in Britain are not routinely armed and the small proportion who are authorised to carry guns are highly trained.
